Apigee as a FTP server

[sathishasiddaia]

Dear Google Team,

Please confirm, do we have option to use Apigee as FTP/SFTP serve, i.e Can Apigee act as a file transfer service that listens on a port for remote clients to connect to it.?

Well, you can use Apigee to connect to an FTP server and do operations. But why use an API Management tool to transfer files? What is your use case?

we have an existing Http and SFTP services on Axway API management tool, planning to migrate to Apigee

By default Apigee only listens on Http or Https protocols, it does not listen on FTP, TCP, or other protocols.

HTTP Services can be migrated to Apigee.

AFAIK Axway has both Integration and API tools. So I am not sure how much of FTP services can be migrated to Apigee, as APigee is a pure API Management Tool.

For connecting with FTP services you can make use of Nodejs(Hosted Target) option in Apigee or using Java callout,
